Nar Shaddaa


BLCKCLONE

Recommended Posts

It wasn't exactly the kind of peaceful planet his droid had suggested, but ShadowFett had decided to next check Nar Shadaa. People generally knew what was going on on Nar Shadaa, and almost any type of person could be found residing in the "Vertical City".

 

The Smuggler's Moon wasn't the cleanest of places, and the landing bay Fett put down in was hardly in prime condition. He would find something to do here if it killed him from boredom. Without Piccolo to trail behind he really was just kind of winging it, going solo for the first time in a while.

 

That was part of what being in an organization was all about. However, when Fett's own organization had begun to show qualities that he was anything but fond of, he had decided to not take part in a certain mission and go out on his own until he was called back.

 

Hunting alone was just as good.

 

Setting out from his ship, the experienced bounty hunter made his way through the city, blending in to the shadows in his black Mandalorian battlearmor and yet, when noticed, various beings eyed him nervously, most obviously with small bounties on their heads.

 

ShadowFett didn't really need the money, and with only a quick skirmish and no tracking involved, he really wouldn't enjoy collecting such small bounties either. He did think to brush up on his combat skills during his stay here, however long it took to find what he was looking for, until he gave up for one reason or another, or was called back to Dubrillion by Kabal (or to Ilum by Piccolo).

 

Fett would be sure to locate some crime and do whoever was being attacked a favor. He always preferred it that someone would be in his debt, and saving a being's life was the best way to ensure that.

As ShadowFett began to near a great Hutt palace, he saw a man, apparently a criminal, storming out of the front doors. According to Fett's databank, this man was Daz-Ex Ether. The name didn't matter, however--Fett was more interested in the criminal's actions.

 

He was no vigilante, but there were many things Fett was interested in finding out that this man may relate to. He decided to waylay the man and inquire as to his doings.

 

The Mandalorian boldly stepped in front of Daz-Ex as he approached, still apparently furious. "Might I inquire as to what the cause for your haste my be?" he asked in a tone that hardly matched the politeness of his words. It was clear that if the man did not stop, he would be in danger.

 

Fett studied the man's profile. Using his infrared visor, the experienced hunter determined that the man had just been in a tense situation, perhaps even combat, judging from the heat his muscles were radiating and their stressed positioning.

 

There was something here that ShadowFett needed to know. Regardless of whether the man had met a Jedi or not.

ShadowFett's curiousity was aroused just enough by the man's response that he stuck a tiny tracker device imperceptably on the man's sleave as he continued on his way. The tracker was small enough to never be noticed and was immune to scanner systems.

 

However, it's tracking signal had a rather limited range, so Fett followed Daz-Ex at a distance to keep him in range. He wouldn't follow the man for long...just until he either left the planet or until a bounty was posted on his head for the act he had just committed. From his words the bounty hunter had decided that this man had just killed someone or something that had some important position on this planet.

 

The Mandalorian would simply wait and see if the newly-killed being had enough power to put a sizable bounty on his killer's head shortly after being cloned. It shouldn't be that much longer....

Another thought occured to ShadowFett. He could track this man an infinate distance if he needed to. He was surprised that no bounty had been posted yet. More than likely whoever was killed was not important enough to put a bounty on his head.

 

But his mind was changed when he tapped into a local news channel from within his helmet and found out that the infamous Whyl the Hutt had been recently killed by a man matching the description of the one Fett was even now following.

 

He smiled slightly as he thought back to Daz-Ex's comment about making the galaxy a better place, though only in the eyes of some. He shook his head fractionally--when were the beings of the galaxy going to realize that it was never wise to kill a Hutt?

 

Fett opened a comm channel to his ship. "2277," he said. He was answered with one word. "I need you to find the ship registered under the name of Daz-Ex Ether and secure aboard its hull a homing device. I need to be able to find him if he enters hyperspace."

 

Though, the Mandalorian mused, only if a bounty was indeed posted. He would give Whyl's organization a little longer. Somehow he couldn't see Whyl being killed without repercussions. All the more reason to follow Daz-Ex now.

 

2277, meanwhile, took very little time to find the ship and place the homing beacon undetectably aboard. He made his way back to the Night of Vengeance without being spotted.

OOC: Whoops, you don't have a ship.

 

IC: ShadowFett was surprised when the blip he was tracking stopped moving. He got a little closer, though staying out of sight. He found himself looking at the Ion Raptor II, registered to Rane Scando. The very name made Fett furrow his eyebrows.

 

Keeping out of sight, the bounty hunter made sure he was at an angle at which he could see the ship but not the cockpit glass. He produced a homing device and threw it onto the ship, calculating that in all probability his query (if indeed a query this man became) did not see the small metallic device moving through the air on its short trip.

 

It magnetically locked onto the hull of the ship and started to produce unidentifyable and untrackable pulses of information, providing on Fett's seperate and accompanying device the precise location and heading of the tracked ship.

 

The bounty hunter slipped away and headed towards his own ship, assuming that the man he was tracking for as of yet very little reason was going to steal Rane Scando's ship.

 

He reached his modified YT-2000 and said to his droid, 2277, "Rane Scando's ship will be lifting off momentarily. We're to track it unless something more intriguing happens real quick. The current operator isn't a Jedi, but I have the feeling I can make some credits off him."

 

The droid said nothing but started to heat up the ship's systems, readying for takeoff.

ShadowFett was decidedly caught off-guard by the transmission. He was to meet with Vladimir Faust? The mercenary/bounty hunter was extremely powerful, and it was rumored that he had slain many Jedi, including those only stories now told of.

 

He would respect Faust, but not be intimidated by him. He was a contact, and one that would likely have him seeing action. Action was what he wanted most of all. Besides, with no bounty to collect on the head of the man he was currently tracking, it seemed pointless to continue to follow him.

 

Fett sent a quick comm back to Dubrillion requesting that Jag and Draj meet him at the Last Call, rather than having Fett go back to Dubrillion first. The Black Sun Operative then lifted his ship smoothly off the ground, tilted its nose towards space, and glided through the atmosphere.

 

To Coruscant, he thought. A moment after getting the coordinates locked in (conveniently the coordinates for Coruscant were 0.00), he pulled back the hyperspace levers and disappeared with a flicker of motion too fast for the eye to focus on.
